My Bad…I Forgot!

Posted on March 18, 2013 by thesweetlifejvo

So my bad. I started a facebook page for The Sweet Life and I completely forgot about my first born: this blog haha.

Like I said in a previous post, I dislike how difficult it is to post on this blog while on facebook it takes me 2 seconds to upload pictures from my phone! I still cant bring myself to get rid of this though so I will try harder to post more or atleast do a monthly update? Maybe that would be easier haha.

Anyways, heres what ive been
upto!

Mini Angel Berry Triffles for a Christmas Party

Red Velvet Cream Cheese Frosting Cupcakes for Valentine’s Day

S’more Cake Brownies

Sea-Salted Caramel Cupcakes – Fishing Themed

Thats it for now, hopefully i’ll remember to post in April haha. I am planning an easter dessert table so I should have much to say about that whole process!!

Until then…=)

Bridal Shower, Anniversaries and More!

Posted on June 18, 2011 by thesweetlifejvo

To jump right in, i’ve been really busy lately but I have still been baking a couple things here and there.

Most recently is a friend’s friend’s bridal shower party. She requested a white and purple theme with vanilla and chocolate cupcakes. So here’s how they turned out!

Bridal Shower Cupcakes

They are actually more purple in real life than it shows on camera, but oh well. I think they turned out beautifully!

chocolate

The next project I did was for my mom and dad’s 25th anniversary. I made them lemon cupcakes with powdered sugar and orange stars. I call them my lemon dream cupcakes ❤

And then lastly, I made myself a banana cream pie…just because I was craving some! haha

Manna’s Baby Shower =)

Posted on November 8, 2010 by thesweetlifejvo

Hello all! So my fabulous friend Manna is gonna have a baby boy and for her baby shower she surprisingly asked me to cater for her!

I was very excited!

We didn’t really discuss any specific details, only that her mom and her were having an ABC’s and 123’s theme in blue, yellow, and red. Therefore the goodies should match =D

Here we have Marbled Cupcakes with White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting. I must say the frosting turned out beautifully! Super white-chocolatey!

: Cupcakes!

Here’s an image of the actual marbled cupcakes, you can’t see the pretty swirls underneath the yummy buttercream frosting lol

Next we have the cookies, which basically look like cookies, but Manna’s mum wanted writing on them. On the left are peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips and on the right are my awesomely awesome chocolate chip cookies!

: C is for COOKIE and that’s good enough for me =D

Lovely isn’t it?

It definitely took me time to do this one because I wanted them to be super fresh for Manna’s baby shower. So I woke up at 8:30am and finished these at 1:30pm just in time to get ready for work =D

W00t!

Anyways, here is what the final product looked like…..

: Ta-Da!

I hope to hear from Manna soon and see pictures of the whole event!

5-stars for cupcakes!

Posted on September 19, 2010 by thesweetlifejvo

This is kind of overdue buuuut it was my birthday about 2 weeks ago and I made these lovely chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting and golden stars!

5 stars!

Aren’t they BEAUTIFUL??!! I used edible gold dust to paint the chocolate stars, i thought they came out super cool, kinda cowboyish looking?

Here’s a close up….

OooOOooo....

Anyways, unfortunately I haven’t had much time to bake lately =( But I would really like to make a carrot cake next so hopefully I can schedule some time in to make that…with cream cheese frosting…and some kinda carrot thing on top for decoration….I dunno…
